Cadets at LouAnne's House of Beauty and Space Hostess Training relax in two of the six approved Space Hostess Poses before their three-day comprehensive exams, which start tomorrow.

The exams determine not only vocational placements for each cadet but also the hairstyles, makeup, and clothing the cadets will be allowed to wear throughout their five-year probational service in the International Space Transit program. The exams are daylong ordeals of drink-serving, emergency procedures, and hair setting and waving. Cadets are allowed one four hour watch in every twenty-four to refresh their makeup and watch uplifting in-flight movies.

Graduates of LouAnne's are considered leaders in the Space Hostess field, and are assured their choice of the placements they qualify for, including the prestigious São Paulo-Marsport run.

This pattern courtesy of Sheila at Out of the Ashes, who is offering an extra 15% off through the end of today (Monday the 15th).

I believe they DID have hats. The outfits were royal blue and lime green for the center part I think... ----- COMMENT: AUTHOR:Blogger Steph DATE:Feb 17, 2010 4:16:00 PM Oh, what a sweet pattern! ----- COMMENT: AUTHOR:Anonymous Anonymous DATE:Feb 17, 2010 11:42:00 PM Oh, Hey...
